Bath re-enamelling at your home in Thirsk
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Thirsk: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Thirsk. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Thirsk, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we are called out for in Thirsk
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots

- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Thirsk

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
